Avocado farmers use the percent of dry matter, the matter left after dehydration, from sample avocados in their orchards to dete

rmine the best time to harvest the avocados. If a sample of the flesh of the avocado weighs 10 grams (g) before dehydration, and 1.8 g after dehydration, what was the percent of dry matter in the sample?

That would be (1.8 / 10) * 100

= 0.18 * 100

= 18%  answer

Remark

This is a very interesting application of math question. Thanks for posting.

The tricky part is interpreting the 1.8 grams. Is it the dry matter? Or is 8.2 grams the dry matter? It turns out that the dry matter is just the 1.8 grams because dehydration means getting rid of the water in a sample.

Formula

% dry matter = (dry matter/ total mass of the sample)* 100%

Givens

dry matter = 1.8 grams

Total Mass of the Sample = 10 grams

Solve

Percent dry matter = (1.8/10) * 100%

Percent dry matter = 18%

The parent function f(x) = x3 is transformed to g(x) = (x – 1)3 + 4. Identify the graph of g(x).
Dominik [7]

we have f(x)=x^3 which is a cubic function.

and =(x-1)^3+4.

from f(x) and g(x) we know that both are cubic and g(x) has shrink of 1 and up by 4 units in x axis .

This is a very long question. I'm not going to write all of it out but I will give you a starting point. Find your x by making y in the formula equal to 0.

2x + 3y = 1470

2x + 3(0) = 1470

2x = 1470

x = 735

Your furthest point on the x axis is (735,0).

Do the same for y.

2x + 3y = 1470.

2(0) + 3y = 1470

3y= 1470

y= 490

Your highest point is (0,490).

Now that both are plotted, draw a straight line connecting the two points. There's your graph.

For each system of equations, drag the true statement about its solution set to the box under the system?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

y = 4x + 2

y = 2(2x - 1)

Zero solutions.

4x + 2 can never be equal to 4x - 2

y = 3x - 4

y = 2x + 2

One solution

3x - 4 = 2x + 2 has one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The system of equation has zero number of solution if the coefficients

 of x and y are the same and the numerical terms are different

- The system of equation has infinity many solutions if the

   coefficients of x and y are the same and the numerical terms

   are the same

- The system of equation has one solution if at least one of the

  coefficient of x and y are different

* Lets solve the problem

∵ y = 4x + 2 ⇒ (1)

∵ y = 2(2x - 1) ⇒ (2)

- Lets simplify equation (2) by multiplying the bracket by 2

∴ y = 4x - 2

- The two equations have same coefficient of y and x and different

  numerical terms

∴ They have zero equation

y = 4x + 2

y = 2(2x - 1)

Zero solutions.

4x + 2 can never be equal to 4x - 2

∵ y = 3x - 4 ⇒ (1)

∵ y = 2x + 2 ⇒ (2)

- The coefficients of x and y are different, then there is one solution

- Equate equations (1) and (2)

∴ 3x - 4 = 2x + 2

- Subtract 2x from both sides

∴ x - 4 = 2

- Add 4 to both sides

∴ x = 6

- Substitute the value of x in equation (1) or (2) to find y

∴ y = 2(6) + 2

∴ y = 12 + 2 = 14

∴ y = 14

∴ The solution is (6 , 14)

y = 3x - 4

y = 2x + 2

One solution

3x - 4 = 2x + 2 has one solution

The local museum had 20000 visitors in 1990 . The number of visitors has decreased by 3% each year since 1990 . Enter a function
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

It is m(x) = 20,000(0.97)^x.

Step-by-step explanation:

After 1990, each year has (100-3) = 97% ( or 0.97) of visitors that it had the previous year.

So m(x) = 20,000(0.97)^x   (answer).
